To answer Bob's question, idle speed is about 600 RPM or so.
 Re: Dodger's comments - I cannot anwer if the motor is rebuilt or a 40 yo
original.  The motor is a 273 2 barrel; it's quite clean with virtually no
oil, dirt, etc.  It is painted Street Hemi Orange with black valve covers
(done before I obtained the car)  The previous owner thinks it might have
been rebuilt but can't confirm it.  Guess a gauge is the next step.
